It is not a pearl paint. It is a custom PPG Orange with no metallic in it. The color changes a lot, depending on the light source. It is a fairly transparent color. We start with a white base and three coats of orange base and then three coats of clear. I think you get eye damage if you look at it too long. :lol:

After 3 1/2 years of hard work, the car is done. Now the work of dialing in the car begins. I guess they are never really done. I took some photos in front of the shop and here they are. I hope to have some action shots after the weekend and maybe some video.

I cannot wait to see this bad boy run! Great job Brian...:thumbsup:

shok 05-19-2011 11:09 AM

Action shots this weekend? Is that autox at the marina? If so what day, I'd like to check out the car.

Flash68 05-19-2011 11:11 AM

So killer Brian. Didn't know your were doing the stripe. Perfect finish!

Killer job. Nice ride.

fleet 05-19-2011 12:48 PM

Prices just went up on 2nd gens...lol :thumbsup:

skatinjay27 05-19-2011 01:54 PM

boing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

let me just say the dale e 2nd gen was at the top of my list for fav second gen
after seeing those pics all i can say is "what other orange second gen with a single stripe?" lol

the stance,wheels,and BULGES just give this car a presence that undeniable.
amazing job!

Man this car is so Bad Ass. I just hope the engine sounds as nasty as it looks.
I might have to go back to orange on my camaro.

syborg tt 05-19-2011 02:16 PM

Very Nice

73CPCAMARO 05-19-2011 05:07 PM

Here is a couple shots of the stripe. This matches my Dads stripe from almost 40 years ago. I copied by Dad's stripe, not JR's :lol:

It may be hard to see, but the gold is on the roof also.

no mustang stripes are skinny and the follow onto the tail panel!:P

srh3trinity 05-19-2011 08:10 PM

Before this car, I would have said that Dale Jr.'s DSE built Camaro was the most complete second gen Camaro. This car trumps that. What an amazing stance and the flares are perfect.

True, I meant the part where it continues over the roof.

Regardless, this thing looks perfect!

Bad ass car!! Love everything about it!! :thumbsup: :hail:

73CPCAMARO 05-21-2011 09:06 PM

Thank you all for the kind words on my Camaro. It has turned out better than I could have wished. Today was the first day I was able to really drive the car. I had a blast. The car is much closer to being dialed in than I thought. Mike Maier did a great job on initial setup. I have a few items to correct, but my list is small at this point. I would call it a very successful first drive of the car.

Here is a video my buddy shot with my flip camera. I hope to get some better video later. Ignore the damn cone I hit in the beginning.
